Mahesh Babu to clash with Baahubali-2

Prince as everyone fondly ennobles him – Mahesh Babu has always been getting the best reception in Chennai and Tamil Nadu irrespective of language barriers. The actor is now finally making his direct Tamil project, which is indeed bilingual to be made in Tamil as well.

The film is directed by critically acclaimed filmmaker AR Murugadoss and is being produced at a whopping budget. The film has big names in the star-cast and technical crew, where Bollywood actress Parineeti Chopra has been signed to play the female lead role. SJ Suryah had to give up his directorial venture for Pawan Kalyan’s movie and focus on this film, which will be featuring him in the baddie character opposite Mahesh Babu.

Also with Harris Jayaraj getting into the musical zone and Santhosh Sivan handling cinematography, it is so much astounding to see the ‘Thuppakki’ combo to come together again. With the shooting all set to commence by next month, there is a sensational news that the film’s theatrical release will happen in April 2017, which coincidentally marks the big bang release of SS Rajamouli’s Baahubali The Conclusion too. With these big tickets getting its way for the film’s release, the theatrical release of Superstar Rajinikanth’s 2.0, directed by Shankar too has been set for the same time tentatively.
